01   Participants 

  1. The forum is a team presentation. One team consists of 4 to 6 students.  

  2. Each school may register up to two teams for the middle school division and up to two teams for the high school division.

02   Topic and Tasks

2.1 Topic: From Artificial Intelligence(AI) to Artificial General Intelligence(AGI)

​2.2 Tasks

​     The artificial intelligence industry is currently advancing from the low-level stage of Narrow AI (ANI), which utilizes                     statistical results from existing knowledge and technology, toward the stage of AGI possessing human-level thinking and               creativity. In the not-too-distant future, it may evolve into Super AI (ASI), surpassing human capabilities, potentially leading         to a state where humans lose control or become subject to its control. Therefore, we urge the prediction of changes that will           occur in key areas of human life when AGI becomes commercialized, and the preparation of countermeasures and plans for its       beneficial use.

​​​

​         2.2.1  Anticipate the specific processes that companies are likely to undergo in order to achieve the commercialization of                         AGI, and consider the expected timeline for this development.

         2.2.2  Anticipate which government institutions, laws, and regulatory frameworks national governments will inevitably need                     to revise or reform when AGI becomes commercialized.

         2.2.3 Anticipate the changes that may occur in educational settings at all levels—such as early childhood education,                                  elementary, middle, high schools, and universities—as well as in educational systems, as AGI becomes                                            commercialized

         2.2.4 When AGI becomes commercialized, it will be able to understand and replicate complex human cognitive abilities,                         including emotional recognition, social interaction, and advanced reasoning. As a result, what new forms of human                         relationships are likely to emerge?

         2.2.5 Anticipate the changes that may occur in various industrial sectors—such as manufacturing, sales, services, and                              industrial convergence—as well as in corporate management, when AGI becomes commercialized.

         2.2.6 When AGI becomes commercialized, what changes are expected to occur in the existing labor market and financial                         systems?

         2.2.7 What potential social risks and threats are anticipated as a result of the commercialization of AGI?

03   Presentation Preparation

3.1 Each team may freely plan their presentation, e.g. include drama skits, group presentations, music, use of media etc. The main          focus of the presentation needs to be the speech. Drama skits, video clips, music, posters etc. are only means of support.

3.2 Each team member has to participate actively in the presentation.​

3.3 The presentation needs to be at least 7 minutes but no more than 10 minutes long.​

3.4  Each team needs to prepare before arrival. Only a small amount of time will be provided for preparations/practice on site.

3.5 All materials used in presentation should be suitable for the general purpose and audience of the event.

3.6 All music, video and other files used for the presentation of one team must be stored in a single folder and submitted via email.

     Note:

     a) The cut off time for submitting the presentation files (containing PPT materials, music etc.) must be kept. Late turn-ins will               not be accepted. If the presentation files are not submitted on time, they will not be displayed during the presentation.

4.3 Attendance
